"I don't know, but I saw a trailer saying that there's a show called Very Pure Very Flirtatious that's about to start filming. It's similar to this show, so we can look forward to it." Chentian said lazily as he laid on the sofa with his mouth full of chips.
"Not bad, not bad. Uncle Wu, you're a godly TV show expert now. I'll definitely ask you about these things in the future!" Ziyu praised.
"It's either Grandpa Wu or Uncle Wu. I say, can't you be a little more normal? We're from the same generation, would it kill you to call him Big Bro Wu?" Chentian said helplessly.
Ziyu suddenly put down her snacks and sat up straight, looking at him seriously. "I will."
"…" Chentian didn't know what to say anymore. He could only pinch his nose and accept his fate. "Why are you back today? It's the weekend already?"
The school wasn't far from here, but Ziyu usually stayed in the dorms, only coming back during the weekends and holidays. After all, Lin Yi wasn't here now, and it was pointless for her to come back every day.
"Uncle Wu, you're from Mars, right? Don't you know tomorrow's the eleventh?" Ziyu asked, surprised.
"Ah? Doesn't that mean today's the end of the month? " Chentian froze, not bothering to watch TV anymore. He quickly got up and left, "I need to go buy groceries. Look after the upstairs for me, remember to check on me every half an hour."
"Got it, Steward Wu. Don't worry and go buy groceries." Ziyu waved her hand impatiently.
Chentian had become the new generation's Uncle Fu, and everything here was handled by him. Even buying ingredients and cooking were done by him. He even signed up for a cooking class, and now he could cook so well. One could only say that his retirement life was boring to a whole new level.
According to tradition, the end of every month was their gathering day. Other than Ziyu, Lingshan, Xu Shihan, Cheng Yiyi, and Sun Jingyi would all come. Fatty Lai, Kang Xiaobo, Yu Bing, Han Xiaopo, and Zhao Qikun would all come as well.
Although some of them would come every weekend, they were all scattered all over the world, and none of them were like Chentian who retired early to become a full-time butler. They all had their own things to do, and it was impossible for them to get together every weekend. But this time at the end of the month was unshakeable. Even if they had something to do, they'd arrange it beforehand or just push it back. This was an important gathering for them.
This was Chentian's time to work. With so many people gathered together, just arranging food and drinks was a big job. He'd have to bring back a whole cart every time he went to the market, and people who didn't know him would think that he was a street vendor. He'd gotten used to the fact that new security guards would be interrogated every time.
Chentian was sweeping up all the goods in the market, haggling over the prices in all sorts of ways, looking like a typical aunty who'd been in the market for decades. With his strength and family background, he wouldn't have thought that things would turn out like this, but he was enjoying it now. Time really did change everything.
Chentian was busy when his phone rang. It was Lingshan, and he quickly picked it up. "Sis-in-Law, you called at the right time! What do you want to eat tonight? I'm at the market right now, I won't have the chance to eat when I get back."
Lingshan smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, I have an urgent mission right now. I'm afraid I won't be able to come tonight. Please apologize to everyone for me, okay?"
Wu Chentian was now Lin Yi's housekeeper, and no matter who it was, they had to report to him. If they wanted to know someone's situation, they just had to ask him, and he'd know everything.
"Urgent mission?" Chentian couldn't help but be surprised. "Sister-in-law, you're the vice director of the investigation department now, what kind of important mission would require you to go personally? Everyone knows about the month-end gathering, and Director Feng wouldn't have arranged anything for you, would he? "
"That's true, but this mission is very special, and the entire investigation department has gathered. It's not a small matter," Lingshan said solemnly.
"Could it be that some noble house or sect is causing trouble again?" Chentian paused. Ever since Lin Yi united all the noble houses and sects in the common world, the investigation department was like the sun in the sky. Normally, no one would dare mess with them, and even the ancient noble houses had to obey their management. But now that Lin Yi had been gone for three years, it was normal for people to start making trouble.
"It shouldn't be. We received news that some unknown practitioners have appeared in the common world, and they seem to be very strong. But we don't know what they're trying to do or what they're trying to do, but the other noble houses and sects have gotten wind of it. If these people really want to cause trouble, it'll be a big mess. We have to be careful." Lingshan said.
"If they're not from the noble houses, then could they be from Red Conches or the center?" Chentian frowned.
It wasn't strange for one or two hidden practitioners to pop up, but a group of unknown practitioners popping up out of nowhere was something they had to be careful of. Normal noble houses and sects didn't have this kind of strength, and they were more or less under the supervision of the investigation department. The only powers he knew of were Red Conches and the center.
"I've asked Dafeng Bro, and there's no news from him. I think it's not them this time." Lingshan paused, "But according to Dafeng Bro, the center seems to be planning something, but he's only in charge of making poisons- he doesn't have access to anything else yet."
"But if it's not the center, then who could it be?" Chentian asked, puzzled. The center was the biggest suspect in this case, and if they could confirm it, they could at least make some countermeasures. But if these people didn't come from the center, and they didn't even know where they came from, then it would be troublesome.
